The curtain has been raised (slightly) on the next installment of Microsoft’s Windows operating system – Windows 7.
Microsoft hope it will bring the internet, mobile phone and PC closer together. But reviews have so far been mixed, although reviewers have been limited to trying the (pre-beta version).
The full version is expected to be capable of working with a touchscreen screen, navigating documents and the Web similar to Apple’s iPhone. It is officially released at the end of 2009.
“I have seen the future, and it is bleak. Windows 7, the next big version, the one that was supposed to fix everything that was wrong with Vista, is here (at least in pre-beta form), and I can now say – with some confidence – that Microsoft has once again dropped the ball.
“Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with Windows 7. Far from atoning for Vista’s sins, Windows 7 simply carries them forward, visiting them upon yet another generation. Windows 7 is no panacea. Rather, it’s just more of the same: slow, bloated, and frustrating as hell.”
“When it comes to Windows 7, Microsoft hasn’t just learned from the mistakes of Windows Vista. It has picked up a thing or two from Apple’s OS X, judging by first impressions.
“It’s not clear how big the changes are so far. If you put the beta-build of Windows 7 side-by-side with Windows Vista, you’d be hard-pressed to spot the differences. Yes, some of the icons look slightly different and there’s no sidebar, but it’s essentially still the Vista look and feel. But that changes when you start to use Windows 7.
“For a start the OS won’t nag you as much; many notifications are banished to a control panel, you get to approve icons before they show up in the system tray and Microsoft has reined in Vista’s useful but annoying UAC prompts; you can choose which ones you want to see or turn them off altogether.”
“Initially Windows 7 looks similar to Vista, but there a lot of new features that have been added. Under the skin, Microsoft has been working hard. Boot times have been reduced, and certainly the review laptop Microsoft provided has a fairly snappy boot time.
“Microsoft has been working with OEMs to improve battery life – simple things such as reducing the timer frequency can improve battery life by up to 10 per cent. The networking stack has had new diagnostics added to help users figure out exactly where the problem lies.
“So, is this all a big deal? It’s not a change to the fundamental core of Windows, and most of the improvements sound relatively small. But taken together, they seem to address many of the issues people have had for Windows. I’m looking forward to trying it out, starting this afternoon.”

@murmurrer
Yeah, even the average netbook has up to 5hrs of battery life, and with those you can carry spares as well.
Hopefully the HP Slate can get more than 5hrs.
at 10:50 am
Omg, that doesn’t sound good.
I heard Ipad runs for 10 hours or so.
at 10:50 am
I heard 3 hours.
I think i’ll wait for the HP Slate.

i like this more than ipad, coz of its usb port, multitasking, cable connection, the hdmtv connection (correct me if im wrong) and the cam!! (unlike ipad
) it is really a “computer experience”
does it have a stylus or something?, you know why i ask
and it really needs a faster processor
at 10:50 am
How long does it run on 1 charge approx.?
at 10:50 am
most boring video ever
at 10:50 am
is this pressure sensitive and multi touch?
at 10:50 am
It’s better than having a GPU that can only handle it’s native resolution. What if I want to run something that is graphics intense? It won’t have a problem. If it only had a GPU that could handle it’s native resolution then it is likely to have a problem. There are even programs now that can utilize the power of GPU’s.

ah right, so the Archos’ LCD screen itself isn’t full HD, but the graphics card can decode a HD film. Clever clever marketing.
I spotted 1 problem too, if it has only 1 USB port there on the side, i guess if you want to hook up a flash drive, sync your phone/mp3 player or transfer data to a removable hard drive, you have to remove the 3G broadband dongle to do those. bummer.
still for that sacrifice it looks like a pretty cool machine. but with time will come better models = more performance etc
at 10:50 am
The resolution is 1024 x 600, I just looked it up. 1080p is 1920×1080 HOWEVER, this is not the point, what they are getting at is that their graphics processor is SO GOOD that it can decode 1920×1080 video. It will still look amazing not the screen but will not be 1080p. If you were to plug this into your 1080p tv some how you could play it at full resolution. (resolution is pixels a 1080p monitor has the same amount of pixels as a 1080p tv, roughly 2million)
at 10:50 am
1 example would be my nokia 5800, which has a 320×640 res screen. 640p on a 3.2 inch screen is considered quite high definition, as the pixels are so close together making a clearer picture than say, the ipod touch, whick has a 480×320 display = 320p. the same pictures/videos i view on my 5800 are much clearer and sharper than on my ipod because of the pixel density
but i’m sure 90% of people know that -.-
at 10:50 am
in terms of large tv screens, 480p is the resolution that regular analog tv broadcasts in. resolutions from 720i to 1080p are considered ‘HighDefinition’ on screens bigger than, say, 25″.
However, having 480 vertical pixels is counted as HD if you have a 3″ screen, as the pixel count is quite high for such a small size screen. That’s how marketers get around it.
But this Tablet is full 1080p, and i guess such a large resolution on a small screen means it’s damn awesome XD

maybe as far as features, but the form factor isnt quite as nice, and there isnt a fanboy following of archos even close to as much as apple. Plus is this still missing a camera? The capacitive will be a pretty big drawback, but this is a huge step in the right direction. Its going to be tough competing with the ipad especially once the revised version comes out. I do like archos though, and in another revision or two this will be a tempting purchase for me.
at 10:50 am
worst presentation ever!!!
at 10:50 am
IPad’s design is MUCH better that Archo’s. On the other hand, as far as programs are concerned, IPad has limits by Apple itself, while Archos lets you use almost every program you’d use on your desktop.
at 10:50 am
This blows the i pad away! nobody is even arguing with it! the i pad can’t do anything near what this can!

ye ipad
sorry
at 10:50 am
ipod. killer? or ipad killer?
at 10:50 am
wow nice .. welocome ipod killer
at 10:50 am
One thing that sucks is the battery life is only 3 hours
at 10:50 am
please give the welcome to the ipad killer
at 10:50 am
this is 5x better than the ipad. the ipad doesnt have crap besides a music store and web that doesnt even support flash.
at 10:50 am
Archos official videos are very stranges as at any time you can see someone using its finger to manipulate the GUI.
My conclusion is that is too bad to be shown and that Windows 7 is far from the usability of iphone OS. Just an idea though.

gorgeous device!
